A car owner went to rendezvous last night with a person who enquired about buying his vehicle.

The owner took a mate along as a precaution.

On arriving at a Bunnings Car Park at Casula, the pair were then confronted by a group of men who ordered them to lie on the ground.

The owner was Tazered on the back of the neck and then shot in the leg.

Police say that this is being treated as a robbery according to the news report.

Man shot, tasered while trying to sell car

Man Tasered in face, neck, shot in leg

Attackers stole mobile phone, car

Police also hunting second shooter

A SYDNEY man has been shot in the leg and Tasered in the face and neck by a group of men in the car park of a hardware store, police said.

About 9.45pm (AEST) two men, aged 23 and 27, took a vehicle to the carpark of Bunnings Warehouse at Casula in Sydney's southwest, where they were to meet a party interested in buying the car.

"One of the men produced a shortened rifle and directed the two onto the ground where they were assaulted by the group," police said.

"During the incident, the 27-year-old was Tasered on the neck and face before being shot in the leg."

The three men stole a mobile phone from the victim and then left in a late model, dark blue Toyota Corolla.

The victim was taken to Liverpool Hospital where he is in a stable condition.

Meanwhile, in Queensland

Police are searching for a man following a shooting incident north of Brisbane.

Residents reported hearing two gunshots in their suburban street in Rothwell yesterday afternoon, and a man later presented himself to hospital with a gun shot wound.

Queensland police said the injured man was being questioned, along with four other people who were helping with inquiries.

"Police are searching for a male person allegedly involved in (the) shooting incident," a police spokesman said.

"Around 3.20pm (AEST) police were advised of shots being fired outside a residence in Cambridge Street".

The injured man, who was shot in the lower right leg, took himself to Redcliffe hospital.

The two got tazered and shot when the buyers realized it was NOT a GTR as advertised :D I can think of so many other things better to do at 9:45PM on a Thursday night than go to a Bunnings Carpark.

Sounds like what happened to my mate in Vic a while back, tazered and had his S15 stolen......

Its a joke that you can't even sell car car now days without this sort of shit.

When and if I decide to sell my line I will be at a location where I have access to a rifle.....

haha genius,

I'm not really looking forward to selling my two cars in a month or so now though, just have to make sure:

- you are in a public area with lots of witnesses

- ask the seller to come alone(had my last car checked out by 15 people at once, not good)

- ask the seller for proof of funds + ID before the test drive

- don't say your car is a GTR if it's really a GXE with GTR kit....you could get shot

When and if I decide to sell my line I will be at a location where I have access to a rifle.....

lol just threaten them to buy it lol

YOU BETTER BUY MY CAR MOTHERF**KER!!! *points gun at head of buyer*

I really don't understand why they put those comments in these "reports"... like I mean, that statement only limits down the potentials to a few hundred thousand people right? I used to LOL so hard when the Organized Asian Crime Squad in Sydney would release these reports with comments like "perpetrators were of Asian appearance" :)

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
